Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Several molecular biology-based genotyping techniques have been adapted for studying the molecular characteristics of Candida albicans strains, which constitute the majority of the etiologic agents in candidiasis. Recently, we reported a PCR system targeting 25S rDNA and ALT repeat sequences in the repetitive sequence (RPS) for genotyping of C. albicans. OBJECTIVE: To assess the potential of 25S rDNA...
